Rematch is developer Sloclap’s (Sifu, Absolver) latest game. It’s a soccer game (or football for you Europeans)currently in early access. It’s a surprisingly authentic soccer game that takes some creative liberties, such as placing a barrier on the edges of the field so the ball can’t go out...
This Short And Sweet RPG Spins Up A Beautiful Deckbuilding Melody
17.7.2025
Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson is the kind of genre-blending mismatch that’s just crazy enough to work.

I was recently digging through the PlayStation Store’s upcoming games section when I spotted a clearly AI-generated image of a shark in shoes. “Strange,” I thought to myself. And then I saw another. And then three more. And then even more. That’s when I realized AI slop has fully infested the...
